Good Evening Guys,
I have what looks to me to be an old style electrical/telephone socket housing in an internal brick wall which I have got a plasterer coming to skim later this week. Could any kind soul out there advise me the best way of filling this hole. I'm not sure if I should be leaving the metal housing in the wall and filling as is, or should I use a hammer and bolster and get rid. If so what is the best technique and material to use to fill in the hole thats left? Any advise or suggestions would be very much appreciated! I have attatched a photo to give you an idea on the size.
